College Football’s Super Seven


Sunday, May 17th, 2009

Now that spring football is over and the NFL draft is behind us, I thought it was time to come up with my super seven teams. Things can change a great deal before the season starts, so this ranking could look very different when the season starts, but this is where things stand now.

1. The Florida Gators: The defending National Champions return their entire starting defense, 2007 Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Tim Tebow, and have a favorable schedule in 2009. Can Florida be the first team to repeat as National Champions since the 1995 Nebraska Cornhuskers?

Roadblock to success: Some might say complacency, but I think there is more than enough leadership on this team. The biggest roadblock will be the loss of the dynamic wide receiver/running back Percy Harvin. Someone will have to step up and fill his mighty big shoes.

Team Strength: Leadership. How hungry will this team be? The off-season will be as important to this team’s success as the preseason. Having Tim Tebow back will be huge, but don’t underestimate the value of Brandon Spikes and what he means to this team on an emotional level.

Toughest game: At LSU on October 10. The winner of this game has won the last three National Championships.

Trap Game: At Mississippi State on October 24. Florida has lost the last two times they visited Starkville.

MVP: This is an easy one, Tim Tebow.

Surprise player: Andre Debose. The true freshman receiver/running back out of Sanford, Florida will get the first crack to replace Percy Harvin

2. The USC Trojans: They lost quarterback Mark Sanchez and the bulk of their defense to the NFL, but I think this is the year USC puts it all together. It doesn’t hurt that the BCS title game will be played in Pasadena (motivation anyone?).

Roadblock to success: Inexperience. The Trojans will break in a new quarterback, a redshirt sophomore Aaron Corp or true freshman Matt Barkley, and eight new starters on defense.

Team Strength: Depth. No team in the country has recruited better then USC over the last few years and it will show this year.

Toughest game: At Ohio State on September 12. Not the best way to break in all the new starters.

Trap Game: September 19 at Washington. A week after going to Columbus to face the Buckeyes, the Trojans travel to face their former offensive coordinator.

MVP: Safety Taylor Mays. No player is more intimidating than the Ronnie Lott clone.

Surprise player: Linebacker Malcolm Smith. The younger brother of New York Giants receiver Steve Smith could be the next great linebacker at USC

3. The Texas Longhorns: Texas fans feel they should have played for the title last year instead of Oklahoma. Could they get their chance this year? They will if 2008 Heisman Trophy runner-up quarterback Colt McCoy has anything to do with it.

Roadblock to success: The defensive line. Texas will break in four new starters up front on defense. Outside linebacker Sergio Kindle moved to defensive end this spring to improve the pass rush.

Team Strength: Colt McCoy. The offense should be explosive again this fall lead by quarterback Colt McCoy. Can he win the Heisman and lead Texas to a national title?

Toughest game: October 17 vs. Oklahoma in Dallas. Will a Texas victory lead to a Big South title? It didn’t last year.

Trap Game: November 14 vs. Baylor in Waco. Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin could give the Longhorns fits.

MVP: Quarterback Colt McCoy. All he has left to do is get his team to the national title game.

Surprise player: Cody Johnson. The 255-pound running back will add power to the running game.

4. The Oklahoma Sooners: They lit up the scoreboard in 2008, but they came up short in their chase for the national title. 2008 Heisman trophy winning quarterback Sam Bradford returns for his junior season and could be one of six NFL first-round draft pick quarterbacks in 2010.

Roadblock to success: The offensive line. The four senior starters from the 2008 season have moved on, and it might take time for the new line to gel.

Team Strength: Firepower. The offense was fantastic in 2008 led by running back DeMarco Murray, tight end Jermaine Gresham, and quarterback Sam Bradford. 2009 should be just as explosive.

Toughest game: October 17 vs. Texas in Dallas. Will an Oklahoma victory lead to a Big South title? It did last year.

Trap Game: October 3 at Miami. The Hurricanes would love nothing better than to take down the Sooners.

MVP: Sam Bradford. He put up amazing statistical numbers in 2008, but his team came up one win short of the title. He’s back at Oklahoma wanting a second chance at the title.

Surprise player: Adron Tennell. The big senior wide receiver had a great spring and could become one of Bradford’s favorite targets.

5. The Virginia Tech Hokies: The two-time defending ACC champions return 16 starters including dynamic quarterback Tyrod Taylor. Could this be the year that the ACC champions get a shot at the national title? The Big 12 and the SEC are going to have to stumble, but Virginia Tech should be there if they do.

Roadblock to success: Tyrod Taylor. When he is healthy, this quarterback can be very dangerous. His health and his development as a passer are critical to the Hokies success.

Team Strength: Tyrod Taylor. No other player in the ACC can match the skills that he brings to the table each game.

Toughest game: September 5 vs. Alabama in Atlanta. This game won’t determine Tech’s fate in the ACC standings, but it might determine the fate of the ACC in the national standings.

Trap Game: October 17 at Georgia Tech. Hard to call this game a trap, but Tech better ready for the Yellow Jackets and their smash-mouth style of football.

MVP: Tyrod Taylor. Notice a theme here: as Taylor goes, so go the Hokies.

Surprise player: Running back Ryan Williams. He had a huge spring (153 total yards in the spring game) and hopes it will carry over to the fall.

6. The Ole Miss Rebels: The rebels were the surprise team in 2008. They were the only team to beat Florida (and they did it in Gainesville), and they easily handled Texas Tech in the Cotton Bowl. They lost two first-round draft picks to the NFL, but they have tons of talent returning to Oxford.

Roadblock to success: Expectations. It’s one thing to sneak up on people, but it’s another thing to win when there’s a target on your back. How does Ole Miss handle the role of the hunted?

Team Strength: Talent. They have perhaps the deepest defensive line in the country, led by Greg Hardy, and the talent on the offensive side of the ball is just as good. Quarterback Jevan Snead could be a first-round draft pick in 2010.

Toughest game: October 10 vs. Alabama. This game could be for the SEC Western Division title. The good thing for Ole Miss is that the Tide has to come to Oxford.

Trap Game: October 31 at Auburn. Winning on the plains is no easy task. The Rebels better not overlook the Tigers.

MVP: Quarterback Jevan Snead committed to play at Florida before Tim Tebow chose Gainesville, and Snead ending up in Austin where he sat behind Colt McCoy. Could this be the year he proves to be the best prospect of the three?

Surprise player: Linebacker Patrick Trahan. You might not know him now, but I assure you coaches in the SEC and NFL know who he is.

7. The Oklahoma State Cowboys: It’s the story of the good and the bad for the Cowboys. The good is that they return 14 starters from a team that won nine games, and they might have one of the best offenses in the country. The bad for the Cowboys is that Texas and Oklahoma are just as loaded and they are all in the Big 12 South. Only one team from that division can play for the conference title. Can the Cowboys be that team?

Roadblock to success: The Big 12 South. If three of the top seven teams in the country are in the same conference, it is a problem for two of them. But, if they are in the same division of the same conference, that is a nightmare.

Team Strength: Offense. The Cowboys might have the best quarterback (Zac Robinson), running back (Kendall Hunter), wide receiver (Dez Bryant), and offensive tackle (Russell Okung) combination in the country. The problem is Oklahoma is their competition in that category as well.

Toughest game: November 28 at Oklahoma. Not only is this a huge rivalry game, but it might decide the Big 12 South and much more.

Trap Game: September 5 vs. Georgia. This game will lay the foundation of the Cowboys season, but just how sturdy a foundation is the question.

MVP: Dez Bryant. This wide receiver is a Terrell Owens clone. Imagine how hard Owens would be to stop in college. You now have an idea of the type of player Bryant is.

Surprise player: Richetti Jones. On a team desperate for a pass rush, the sophomore defensive end could make a huge impact.

Other teams that could steal the spotlight: Alabama, Oregon, Ohio State, TCU and Boise State.

Take a closer look at the top seven. Notice that you’ve got three teams from the Big 12, two from the SEC, and one each from the ACC and the Pac 10. Wouldn’t it be great to have the champion from each conferences play in a playoff format… wait I’m getting ahead of myself. The season is still months away and not one game has been played. Oh well, these top seven should be enough food for thought to hold you over till the season starts. Remember, a lot can change between now and September.

SPRING FOOTBALL PREVIEW


Saturday, March 14th, 2009

Let’s shift gears and talk a little football, spring football to be precise. With the college football season still months away, I know many of us still need our fix of college football, so I decided to take a brief look at the major conferences as teams prepare for the start of spring football. I’ll give you the top team from each conference, a surprise team to look out for, a few points of emphasis for other teams in the conference and the players to keep an eye on. Let’s get started…

ACC

Top Team: Virginia Tech. Hokies coach Frank Beamer did a fabulous job of getting Virginia Tech to a BCS game last year. Many Virginia Tech fans think 2009 will be their year. Led by dynamic quarterback Tyrod Taylor, this is the year they will make an impact on the national scene. Also keep an eye on Georgia Tech.

Surprise Team: North Carolina. They will lose the majority of their receivers, but head coach Butch Davis has done a great job on the recruiting trail to build depth in the program.

Points of emphasis:

  • Is the young talent at Miami ready to take the next step?
  • Is head coach Dabo Swinney the man to take Clemson to the next level?
  • Does the coaching turmoil, former head coach Jeff Jagodzinski out and current head coach Frank Spaziani in, at Boston College carry over into the season?
  • Is Christian Ponder the answer for Florida State at quarterback?
  • How much better will Georgia Tech be in the second year in head coach Paul Johnson’s offense?

Players to watch this spring: Tyrod Taylor QB for Virginia Tech, Christian Ponder QB for FSU, Jacory Harris QB for Miami, Willy Korn QB for Clemson and Greg Little WR/RB for North Carolina

Big Ten

Top Team: Ohio State. They lost a lot of talent off last year’s team, but with quarterback Terrelle Pryor having another year of development and with how well they recruit, Ohio State should be back on top. Also keep an eye on Penn State.

Surprise Team: Minnesota. They started strong last year but faded down the stretch. Having receiver Eric Decker back healthy will be a big help.

Points of emphasis:

  • Does Michigan have the talent to run Rich Rodriguez’s spread offense?
  • Can Wisconsin regain its toughness?
  • Can coach Ron Zook bring Illinois back to the top of the Big Ten?
  • How much longer does Joe Paterno stay at Penn State?
  • Can someone push Ohio State and Penn State?

Players to watch this spring: Terrelle Pryor QB for Ohio State, Tate Forcier QB for Michigan, Dan Herron RB for Ohio State, Chaz Powell WR for Penn State and Eric Decker WR for Minnesota

Big East

Top Team: Pittsburgh. They lose running back LeSean McCoy to the NFL, but their offensive line should be the best in the conference and they have a budding superstar in WR Jonathan Baldwin. Also keep an eye on West Virginia.

Surprise Team: South Florida. They have arguably the most talent and speed in the Big East, and I’m saying this is the year they put it all together.

Points of emphasis:

  • Who fills West Virginia QB Pat White’s shoes?
  • Can Cincinnati reload on defense?
  • Who plays quarterback for Rutgers?
  • Can Pitt find a replacement for RB LeSean McCoy?
  • Can Syracuse alum Doug Marrone bring them back to relevance?

Players to watch this spring: Jarrett Brown QB for West Virginia, Jonathan Baldwin WR for Pittsburgh, Mike Williams WR for Syracuse, Mike Ford RB for South Florida and the entire Cincinnati defense.

Big 12

Top Team: Texas. They are the top team by the simple fact that they beat Oklahoma head-to-head last year. Having a hungry Colt McCoy back and a team coming off a bowl win doesn’t hurt either. Also, obviously, keep an eye on Oklahoma.

Surprise Team: Oklahoma State. Not much of a surprise, but with 16 returning starters this could be the year they challenge for the title.

Points of Emphasis:

  • Defense, defense, defense and did I mention defense?
  • Can Oklahoma rebuild its offensive line?
  • What can head coach Bill Synder do in his return to Kansas State?
  • Can the Big 12 rebound from a poor bowl season?
  • DEFENSE!!!

Players to watch this spring: Taylor Potts QB for Texas Tech, Darrell Scott RB for Colorado, Blaine Gabbert QB for Missouri, Sergio Kindle LB/DE for Texas.

Pac 10

Top Team: Southern California. No surprise here. Although they have to replace some key parts, QB and the front seven, they just have so much more talent and depth than any other Pac 10 team. Also, keep an eye on California.

Surprise Team: Arizona. They have to replace their quarterback but they return 14 starters and have lifted the monkey off their backs by going bowling last year.

Points of emphasis:

  • Who is going to be the QB at USC?
  • Will Washington and Washington State win more than one game combined this year?
  • How does Oregon adapt without longtime coach Mike Belloti on the sidelines?
  • Can someone challenge USC on a consistent basis (UCLA???)
  • Can Oregon State build on last year’s success?

Players to watch this spring: The QB competitors Mitch Mustain , Aaron Corp and Matt Barkley of USC, Jake Locker QB for Washington, Chris Galippo LB for USC, Jacquizz Rodgers RB for Oregon State and LeGarrette Blount RB for Oregon (if he practices).

SEC

Top Team: Florida. Florida is the defending national champion, and it returns Tim Tebow and the entire two-deep depth chart on defense. It needs to replace Percy Harvin and both offensive tackles, but its schedule is very manageable.

Surprise Team: Ole Miss. Not much surprise here either. Former coach Ed Orgeron left the cupboard full of talent for Ole Miss head coach Houston Nutt, and they are reaping the benefits now.

Points of emphasis:

  • Who will replace Matt Stafford and Knowshon Moreno at Georgia?
  • Is head coach Lane Kiffin going to be able to turn around Tennessee on the field and off?
  • Is Stephen Garcia the answer at QB for South Carolina?
  • Can Alabama make another run at the West while breaking in a new quarterback?
  • Can Jordan Jefferson be the difference maker at quarterback for LSU?

Players to watch this spring: Joe Cox QB for Georgia, Jordan Jefferson QB for LSU, Ryan Mallett QB for Arkansas, Stephen Garcia QB for South Carolina and Marcus Gilbert OT for Florida

Hopefully, this helps prepare you for spring football and fills your need for a college football fix. Obviously, the start of the 2009 season is still a long way off, but spring football can be very pivotal in determining the outcome for the upcoming season. By paying attention to the details that come out of spring practice, you can see where your team is as it heads into the summer program and prepares for the fall. Hopefully, your team will have a productive and healthy spring football season.

March Madness


Thursday, March 5th, 2009

It’s time to put up or shut up. Last month, I challenged my wife, Lindsay, to pick her bracket using her “gut feelings” (AKA – the colors and mascots she likes best) vs. my bracket picks using statistical analysis. Our “stats vs. gut feelings” bracket challenge is underway! Even though we picked the same champion, we got there by very different methods. Whose method will prevail?

One point will be awarded for each win – the highest number of wins, wins! Next month, we will reveal the winner.

How to Pick Your March Madness Bracket


Monday, March 2nd, 2009

Statistics or Team Colors

It’s time for March Madness! Whether or not your team is going to make the NCAA tournament, almost everyone will take part in some kind of office bracket challenge. When it comes to filling out your bracket there are several schools of thought. Do you use careful thought and consideration of past statistical data? Or do you pick it based on what you like about the teams: colors, mascot or just your gut?

To test these theories, we are going to have a bracket challenge. In next month’s issue, we will reveal the results or our bracket experiment. I’m going to pick my bracket based on statistical analysis (continue reading for analysis), and my wife will pick her bracket using her method — colors and mascots. Although I’d like to say statistics will win, I’ll let you know how it turns out!

For now, let’s talk about some information that might help you pick a bracket based on numbers and research. The first thing you need to do is take your heart out of the equation. No matter which team you’re a fan of, you have to be objective and think with your head. One thing that can be helpful is to start with the Final Four first. If you pick your Final Four and your champion and work backward, you’ll probably be more successful because most people worry so much about picking first round upsets, they forget to focus on the end result. Here is a tip to keep in mind when picking a Final Four. Stay with the top seeds. Only twice has a Final Four been without a No. 1 seed (1980 and 2006), but only once has a Final Four been with all four No. 1 seeds (2008).

Here are some other stats to help you pick your bracket. Since 2000, 42% of the teams to make the Final Four have been No. 1 seeds. In that same period, 22% of the teams in the Final Four were No. 2 seeds and 14% were No. 3 seeds. Looking at the big picture since 2000, 78% of the Final Four teams were three of the top four seeds. When picking your Final Four you might want to think about having two No. 1 seeds, a No. 2 or No. 3 seed and a possible wild card like a No. 5 or a No. 8 seed. The seeds you want to avoid are seeds 12 through 16 as well as seeds 7, 9 and 10. Since 1985, no 7 seed, 9 seed or 10 seed has made it to the Final Four.

The Final Four is where it all ends up, but the real excitement is in the opening rounds of the tournament. Here’s some information to help when you’re picking the first two rounds. First of all, never ever pick a No. 16 to beat No. 1 seed. It has never happened. I’m sure someday it will, but it’s unlikely this year. No. 15 seeds have only beaten No. 2 seeds four times, ever. So, you might want to look elsewhere for the upset in the first round. Both No. 3 and No. 4 seeds have similar success in the tournament. No. 3 seeds win 84% of the time and No. 4 seeds win 79% of the time. So, it’s a fairly safe bet to pick the No. 1 through No. 4 seeds to advance to the second round.

Once you move past those relatively safe seeds, things start to get interesting. The remaining games are where you’ll see the majority of upsets, so pay attention to this information and hopefully you’ll be able to pick the right ones! A No. 12 seed beats a No. 5 seed 33% of the time. So, it’s a good bet that you’ll see at least one No. 5 seed go down in the first round. Also if you’re looking for your dark horse, sticking with the No. 12 seed in round two might be a good choice. They win 35% of the time against No. 4 and 86% of the time against a No. 13 seed.

When it comes to the No. 6 versus No. 11, it’s hard to call anything an upset — 30% of the time the No. 11 will beat a No. 6. If that happens, it might be a good choice to continue picking the No. 11 seed. They win 24% of the time against No. 3 and 100% of the time against the No. 14! The No. 7 vs. No. 10 match-up is very interesting because a lot of people pick the No. 10 to win, but the numbers prove otherwise. The No. 7 seeds are dominant, winning 63% of the time. Something else to keep in mind; if the No. 10 happens to beat the No. 7, they win 47% of the time against the No. 2 in the second round and 100% against the No. 15.

In the No. 8 vs. No. 9 game, the No. 9 seed has won 50 of the 92 meetings. So it makes sense to pick the No. 9 over the No. 8, even though it really can’t be considered an upset. One of the more interesting, and probable, second round match-ups are the No. 3 vs. No. 6 games. Those games are nearly a coin flip with the No. 3 seeds having a slightly better winning percentage.

According to Wikipedia, since the inception of the 64-team tournament in 1985, each seed-pairing has played a total of 96 first-round games.

  • The #1 seed has beaten the #16 seed all 96 times (100%)
  • The #2 seed has beaten the #15 seed 92 times (96%)
  • The #3 seed has beaten the #14 seed 81 times (84%)
  • The #4 seed has beaten the #13 seed 79 times (82%)
  • The #5 seed has beaten the #12 seed 65 times (67%)
  • The #6 seed has beaten the #11 seed 66 times (69%)
  • The #7 seed has beaten the #10 seed 60 times (62%)
  • The #8 seed has beaten the #9 seed 44 times (46%)

I realize this is a lot to take in, so I included a quick reference chart for you to use to help make your first round selections.

Can the Gators do it again in 2009?


Saturday, February 14th, 2009

Hopefully by now, you’ve gotten all you wanted out of this year’s college football season. Despite the controversy of the BCS (Bowl Championship Series) and especially the Big 12 South, I hope you were able to enjoy the tragic upsets and ride the wave of excitement all the way to the BCS title game in Miami. With Florida winning the 2008 BCS Championship, we can finally put to rest the 2008 season. Even if your team didn’t win the national title, or even if it did, there is one thing all college football fans have in common now… Next Year. Now that the football season is over, there is no time like the present to start talking about next year. So, let’s take a look at what we have to look forward to in the 2009 season.

By looking at a combination of the final top 10 BCS standings for 2008 and the 2009 recruiting rankings, I came up with my projection for the top five teams heading into the 2009 season. Keep in mind, a lot will change between now and the start of the season, and this projection is based on returning starters and projected recruiting rankings (which we all know can change). But, let’s take a look at my projected top five teams coming in to the 2009 season

Of the final top 10 BCS rankings, six teams stand out in terms of returning starters — USC, Texas, Alabama, Ohio State, Florida and Oklahoma. Although Ohio State had a great 2008 season, and it has a favorable 2009 schedule, it lost a great senior class. Not to mention that Terrelle Pryor is going to have to have a major growth spurt between his freshman and sophomore seasons in order for Ohio State to compete for a BCS championship. So, in my rankings, Ohio State is the odd man out.

That leaves five teams. Based on my formula of returning starters and projected recruiting rankings, Southern California ranks fifth. USC has 11 starters returning and currently has the number two ranked recruiting class of 2009. Although, I rank USC number five, keep an eye on its defense, it will have only four returning starters on defense, leaving a big hole that its top-ranked recruiting class will have to fill. USC will also have to break in a new quarterback as Mark Sanchez decided not to return for his senior season.

Next up is a tie between Alabama and Oklahoma. Both teams have 13 starters returning, but Alabama will be breaking in an inexperienced quarterback and replacing Andre Smith, its outstanding left tackle who decided to turn pro a year early. Although, Alabama does have the eighth-ranked recruiting class compared to Oklahoma’s ninth-ranked class, the nod for third goes to Oklahoma based on the fact that Oklahoma’s 2008 Heisman Trophy winning quarterback, Sam Bradford, is returning, leaving Alabama at number four.

Coming in at number two are the Texas Longhorns. Many people felt it deserved a shot at the BCS championship game in 2008 (not to mention its own conference championship game), but it was denied by an outdated tiebreaking system that gave Oklahoma the nod even though Texas defeated Oklahoma head to head. Could this be the year that Texas returns to Pasadena, the site of its 2005 BCS championship game victory over USC? I think so. Texas returns 15 starters including its quarterback, 2008 Heisman Trophy runner-up, Colt McCoy. Texas also has the third best class for 2009 according to ESPN.

After looking at all of the numbers, one team comes out on top, again — the Florida Gators. The 2008 BCS Champion Gators will have the most returning starters (18, including its entire first and second string defense) as well as the fifth-ranked recruiting class in the nation. It will lose the dynamic Percy Harvin to the NFL, but with the return of Tim Tebow (2007 Heisman Trophy winner), the Gators should have enough firepower to compete in its third BCS title game in the last four years with a chance to go 3-0 in those title games. Florida should clearly have the combination of returning talent and incoming depth to start the 2009 season where it finished the 2008 season… number one in the polls.

Let’s recap: number five USC, number four Alabama, number three Oklahoma, number two Texas and number one Florida. Again, a lot could, and will, change between now and the start of the 2009 season. Recruiting rankings are subject to change and nobody can truly predict how incoming freshmen will adapt to college life, not to mention the bulls-eye these teams will definitely wear.

The 2008 season ended with the Florida Gators on top, and the 2009 season will begin that way as well, but there will be a lot of hype and questions to be answered as we prepare for 2009. Can Florida repeat as champs? Can Sam Bradford repeat as Heisman Trophy winner? Will Texas get its shot at the title? We can only wait and see what’s in store for 2009, but if you use my formula, Florida and Texas fans can make arrangements to be in Pasadena January 7, 2010 for the BCS title game. And we can do what we all love to do… look ahead to Next Year.
